Hi guys. I'm Andrew. i own a '84 300zx, and a '83 280zx as of yesterday. I'm also on 88 hybrid and was on hybridz, but i got ignored. not sure really what i want to do with the 280, maybe 350 v8 swap....

Thanks. And pics asap. And i know how you feel bout the chevy engine. I'm kinda half and half. It's either that or another straight 6 crate engine. I dont really know alot about these engines, but i'll learn. i still got to get the 280 in my name and registered. these cars sure are a money pit. i've had the z31for almost a year and im buying the 280 off a friend.

kittyz

wtf? rejection at 60 and set at 30?? i'll try less pics....



this is where one of my buddy's DRUNK *** SPERM DONOR backed into my baby


oh well. she's not runnin right now. got a short i think. pretty damn sure. i'll find out later. pics of 280 asap.

Welcome to Zdriver
Cheers on the 280zx, hope you don't do any engine swap...I am very partial to keep the s130's on original as possible.
Would love to see picture !

You will find the 280ZX easier to work on then a Z31 tho lol I'd vote stick with the L28 and get a few boltons for it

kittyz

yeah i think i will stick with the l28 on this one. can't make any promises on another though. yup im gonna love the engine room. there is a HUGE difference. tried to post pics of my 300, but it didnt show. any reason why? pics as soon as i can of the 280.

scorpionp54

you could through a RB engine in there thats what im doin once i get money for it

welcome to zdriver. you do know how to upload pictures to another site and then post the link to them in the thread here don't you? if you were doing that, i don't know why the pictures wouldn't have worked.

american made engines are a big down grade from our nissan engines. these engines really are amazing. if you must do a swap, i recommend to keep it nissan.

Nice ride!

kittyz

yah i know how to upload them. it had to get approved. i was thinking about a rb swap, that'd be pretty expensive wouldn't it? and is there a good nissan v8? j/w. i like the power. but i really think i'll stick with the l28 crate engine. thanks nismo!

SpeciallySpiked

I wouldn't mind a V8 *shifty eyes*

duowing

I'd love to drive a V8 Z or even make one someday down the line, but at the same time I just like having that Nissan straight 6 under the hood. Just go L28ET. That'll be cheap and hold you over for a while.

Here is a infinity V8 conversion done on Z31...saw this in the West Coast National Z. With the Infinity at least it sin the family

kittyz

yeah i was looking at the nissan v8s too, but i think im going to go with the L28. just got the 280 yesterday. pics soon.

snwbrderphat540

wtf.... that engine seems to be lined in a FWD manner....

kittyz

damn for real? idk. all i got left to do is get the title transferred and registered.

BlueKitsune

I can see the engine heads its in a RWD system

And good luck on getting that Z on the road!

kittyz

cool. and thanks! already is on the road though gotta take side streets pics coming REAL soon!

njgheewala

It was a really treat when he fired that engine...man ! Also I looked under the engine and there was barely any clearance left...should have taken the picture of that also, but it was too dark.

snwbrderphat540

after looking long and good, i see the VC's as well. that intake mani is just messed up

BlueKitsune

Agreed on that one

kittyz

+1^ there
